Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for
future reference. Should the appliance be sold,
transferred or moved, make sure the instruction
manual accompanies the washing machine to inform
the new owner as to its operation and features.
Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital
information on installation, use and safety.
Unpacking and levelling
Unpacking
1. Unpack the washing machine.
2. Check whether the washing machine has been
damaged during transport. If this is the case, do not
install it and contact your retailer.
3. Remove the four
protective screws and
the rubber washer with
the respective spacer,
situated on the rear of
the appliance
(see
figure)
.
4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Use the plug provided to seal the three holes
where the plug was housed, situated on the lower
right-hand side on the rear of your appliance.
6. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the
washing machine needs to be moved to another
location.
Packaging materials are not children's toys.
Levelling
1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor,
without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets
or other.
2. If the floor is not
perfectly level, compen-
sate for any unevenness
by tightening or
loosening the adjustable
front feet
(see figure)
;
the angle of inclination,
measured according to
the worktop, must not
exceed 2°.
Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with
stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting
during operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose
carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow
enough room for ventilation beneath the washing
machine.
Electric and water connections
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect the supply
pipe to the water mains
using a gas 3/4
attachment, fitting the
rubber gasket and the
filter supplied with the
appliance and ensuring
that they are fimly
tightened to the taps.
The water supply marked
C
must be connected to the cold water tap; the pipe
marked
H
must be connected to the hot water tap.
Both pipes may be connected to the cold water tap
using the special
Y
connection with multiple
attachments, supplied with the appliance
(see figure)
.
Before making the connection, allow the water to run
freely until it is perfectly clear.
2. Connect the other end
of the water inlet hose to
the washing machine,
screwing it onto the
appliance's cold water
inlet, situated on the top
right-hand side on the
rear of the appliance
(see figure)
.
3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the
hose.
The water pressure at the tap must be within the
values indicated in the Technical details table
(on the next page)
.
If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact
a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.
